About Us:
We are Matteo + Micha! When we were in our early 20s and chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence…11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 8 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!

After beginning our YouTube journey in South Africa during lockdown, we moved to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams – pulling off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip… well, things didn’t go exactly according to plan and so, after 3 incredibly adventurous years, we pulled out of Italy and have now returned to where it all began, South Africa!

  1. Have you guys travelled back now or is this older footage? Very pretty place indeed but our Rands dont stretch far enough when converting to Euros. Hence I watch you vlogs and dream away 🙂
